TRIPPY: Massive Attack has nicely outlived the 1990s, a.k.a. the decade it shaped with the smash trip-hop milestone “Mezzanine” (a.k.a. the record with the theme song from “House” on it). Riding their 2010 release “Heligoland,” they play a second night at Terminal 5 with psychedelic threesome Neon Indian and ex-Tricky collab Martina Topley-Bird joining in. 8PM.

SHORT CUTS: Co-presented by Scene: Brooklyn, Brooklyn Arts Council's film and media arts series with BAMCinématek,Electric Picture Show brings together a baker’s dozen animated short films by artists currently working and creating in Brooklyn, from a film about Huck rafting down the Gowanus with his dog to an Animal Collective music video to a short featuring the wonders of—yes—banananimation. BAMRoseCinemas, 6:50, 9:15PM.
